We yasterday reinariced on the extravagance feeling and the heathen jargon of admiration, vented 441 the grave of Talina, by the three orators, who, like a, file o f soldiers at the funeral of one of their COin rade% tired their hist flatteries over his body. ThiS practice of making speeches at the interment of rth tingiiished individuals, we are aware, is very eonimon in France ; but we are equally aware, that it is liable to:great abuses, and ought to be used with prkelent reserve.' As the - cereinOny is not intenkled to be religious, and the inaimer of performing it has been left to the discretion orfriends, We do not alwal.s expect that the lessons taught, Or the maxims tittered,. should have either much religious unction or much 7 moral propriety ; but all ~occasion of scandal ought to be avoided, and in a country which pro fesses' the Christian religion, under a Most tiati.:ls:ing, the jargon of infidelity shoi t ild not be allowed to be publicly pronounced 'within conse crated walls. The Abbe de. La IVlennais, from a predilection for burying, after the old fashion, in churches, has declared , the cemetery of Pere La chaise to be an 46 Atheistical burying-ground,"— an absurd expression, which has justly given offence to tolerant and reasonable Christians of all sects. Vint certainly it would he difficult to prove,froni this oration of Lafon, that the party who attended the funeral of Telma, had any religion but that of the Roman stage-- any divinities but those of Pagan mythology. He talks of his debuts—of the muse of tragedy—of the ,shades of dramatic poets offering him welcome—of theirbinding his brow with their laurels, and of 'catch, ing inspiration, front his tomb, just as a fidlow-player might have spoken of the ancient Roscius but nothing indicates his belief that the Christian revelation has been made, or that any immortality beyond that of the Green-room io: expected for his deceased friend. The oration of M. Jetty, the tragic writer,, is a little more satisfactory thai: that of Lafon, the tragic actor, inasmuch as the former lets drop an obscure hint th a t be has beard of a future state. Igor would this hosti. lity to every sentiment of religion, and this Pagan babble about mythological beings, be so ,offensive to us, if it did not invade the monuments of the dead, as well as profane the homage offered at their closing graves. but in two of the great cemeteries of Paris, we find tomb-stone-inscriptions which testify that French ar tists are as classic. in their religion .as in their tastes.— Take, for instance, the following epitaph on the cele brated actress Mademoiselle Chameroy, and we could ,multiply the number, were it either necessary, or bad we room for their imertion Tray que regrettent taut des emirs, 1 !

" Maisie,' Graces t'aininicut : encar dans Elyree " Riles aintent ton ombre et lei jettent des fieurs." mekingAhese remarks, we are far from intending to ascribe-much importance either to epitaphs or to funeral orations. If the partywho attended the remains -of- Taint to the'tomb, 'and the persons who drew up these monumental notices, have no religion, they would only add hypocrisy to impiety, by wearing its mask, or speaking its language ; for among so volatile a 'maple, we should scarcely expect a lasting conversion from a marble inscription or a grave harangue.' But we draw attention t o th e f ac t, as an evidence that our lively neighbours, with abundant professions of feeling, allow their minds to have no commerce with religion in some of the most soletun moments of life. -,that though the cross is profusely scattered over the surface of the cemeteries, they have no faith. of the -sacred symbol in their fiearts,—snd that the mission 'sties, who are so much abused for perambulating France, as if it were a heathen land, are not, altogether guilty of misrepresentation or calumny when they de scribe as heathens a considerable portion of its culti .vated society,— Times. The Greek loan has had the luck which the parable describes as attending the man who travelled from jerusidem to Jericho—" It has fallen among thieves. - We fear we cannot be like the good Samaritan : we cannot bind up its wounds, poinlng in oil and wine:: but we do hope to lay open the gashes, and in part to expose the cruel authors of them. Poor Greece ! How little was such treatment to have been expected from England! hi the first place, we think it incumbent on Air.' Robertson—a gentleman whose name even we did not know how to spell in the first instance, and for whom, therefore, we can have no partiality, but who appears hitherto to have indicated peculiar penetration, and to have shown proper spirit—to explain at large what he knows of the transaction. With respect to M. Luriottis, the Greek Deputy, lie also appears not to have been deficient in either talents or zeal for the service of his countrymen; neither has he partaken, so fat as we can perceive, of any of the illicit gains : on the contrary, wherever bribes have been distributed, lie haft clearly not 'participated. Thd representations which have sprung from him against the conduct pur- • sued, have been incessant and powertid ; but what could one do among so many—particularly, speaking, as we understand he .speaks, imperfectly our language ? In 'one matter only he has erred. He conceals, on a false principle of honour, the name of the man who has robbed the Greek nation to the amount of one hundred per:cent., by forcing them to accept stock at double its price, because " he was their friend," " and had done a great deal in their service." The friends of M. Luriottis will explain to him—and we hope even this our article will explain to him—that the man who has done this is what we call in English " a swindler ;" that M. Luriottis must disclose the name Of the man ; and that when he has done that, the Lord Mayor of London will One a warrant for his • appiehenSion. The next thing that we conceive to be requisite is -a committee of stock.brokers,—.We really know not of what description,' but of some that bear a better character than the lest,—to investigate the pr i nc iple of the sixty or sixty-four thousand pounds commission upon this Greek loan ; and to require an eip i anat i on , why seven thousand five hundred pounds were distributed out of that commission among the members of the Greek Committee persvnnity, always excepting Luriottis, who appears to tlfi at present to stand very clear o f ever y fraudulent trattransaction. ' In an affair of this kind, we are really obliged,with doubt and 'hesitation, to look around for defenders of their country's honour.

When they abstain from doing so, it is because they have no clear notion of the matter with which they .are timnering.—Aleto Times. Circumstances comic ted with the last moments of the great tragedian Talina, show clearly of what nature arc the "tender mercies" of the Romish faith &en at the present day, and in the most enlightened of the countries, that yet adhere to the rule of the " Sove reign Pontiff." No doubt the frequent and fruitless attempts terato by the Archbidmop of Paris to obtain adirtiasionto the death-bed of the expiring actor on ,ititiated in a spirit of charity ) but it was charity as gist term is understood in the Church that invented excommunication and establiShed the inqusitorial office from a pure spirit of Christian benevolence I The Church of Rome with that, curious inconsistency which has always distinguished its ethics, sanctifies the gross licentiousness of carnivals, but has pronounced a ma lediction on the intellectual art by which such a genius as Talnia 'could realise the noblest conceptions of poetry, and illustrate the moral history of mankind.— It is true, by the sale of indulgences, the Church of Home has produced more immorality in a single year, than theatrical representations could occasion in a century —but it matters not. Time infallible Pontiff has de clared that the legitimate drama and its professors are as clearly to be denotukced and excommunicated as Bible Societies t 'and so ~the mimic world of Shaks pear, and Racine, and Schiller, and Alferi, is only to be trodden by the obdurate beings who are prepared to he stigmatised in this world, and damned in that to come ! It is a remarkable fact, that when the Arch bishop of Paris, after several visits found that he could not gain admittance to the bed-side of Talma, he at last assured his nephew, a .physician, that his object in coining was a noble and elevated one. He had long, he said, been endeavouring to induce the Court of Rome to rescind the " ridiculous eXcommunication" pronounced against actors, and that Talma " dying in peace with the Church," would furnish him with a powerful argu ment. Even this appeal was in vain, for Telma and his friends knew very well that a crafty excuse was never wanting by an agent of Rome to carry any pur 7 poise that the Church had at heart. It seems Talma cared very little for the excommunication, and he did his brother actors the credit to presume that their un derstandings were in that respect on a level with his own: Therefore, the Church having excluded hint, he acted on the example'of its ,ccharity," and eluded the Church. he Prelate, irritated by the in. dignity of being so often refused admittance, forgot his usual prudence, and gave expression on a sudden to the intolerant spirit by which he was actuated. What could be more unlike the conduct of a Chris tian Pastor, than that he should exclaim to the physi cian—", Great as is my indignation, I cannot punish you here---but on the day of indgment, when all the souls of my floCk shall appear in time presence of God, mine shall. pursue yours, and call upon it to answer for the loss of an immortal soul ' This singular apostrophe contains several points worth being noticed. One is, that the eternal perdition of Telma was cer tain. Another is, that the Archbishop is not on the day of doom to appear as a trembling sinner himself before the throne of the all-judging Creator, to await the sentence of his justice, but is still to exercise autho rity, and to persecute other souls ? A third is, that it is only necessary to become one of " his flock" to be saved, and that it rouses his indignation when any person *does not see that comfortable doctrine in as clear a light as himself. But supposing he had been able tit make his way to the bedside of Talma, and the latter had obstinately refused to receive him as his spiritual guide, would not his indignation have been still more excited, and his anathema been more ter rible ? It is well, therefore, that if Telma could not 4 , die in peace with the Church," he died in peace with the world, and gave no opportunity for artful Priests to draw up a proses-verbal, of falsified or co oured circumstances relative to his death (as in the 'sae of many other great men), to discredit his last moments with superstitious weakness, and palm a pious fraud" upon the .world. 7 --Morning Herald. The following is an extract of a letter from Por au-Prince, dated early in. September. It is not witl out interest :—" Our President is daily becoming more and more unpopular as the difficulties of the Re public increase. He is supposed not to be very well affected towards the English interest ; and we learn, from London, that Mr. Canning has expressed some displeasure at the manner in which the applications for a recognition of the Independence of St. Domingo were made to him. They went to Mr. Canning through a Mr. 11., who has long corresponded with Mr. Secretary Ingineac. Of Mr. H. little is known here ; but some of the English Merchants say, that a better mode of application might have been adopted. The resources of St. Domingo are by no means con temptible ; but the extravagance of the Government 1 expenditure and the payments to France have crippled us sadly for a time. The President and Ingmeac thought to make a splendid fortune by letting the Gold Mince to an English Company. Ths agents came over here, and the President sent a few of his black fellows with them to point out the gold, but they digged and digged, and found nothing.

THE TAILOR AND THE GHOST I! HORRIBLE! MOST HORRIBLE! ! A letter from Norwich, dated'Tuesday, contains the fol' lowing:— " The city of Norwich has been for several days pass thrown into very great alarm, occasioned by strange and moat unaccountable noims, proceeding from a house on Orford-hill, occupied by In inoffensive old gentleman of the name of Harm - The circumstances attending Ois extra ordinary occurrence appears to be, that Mr. Ham, who is a nervous sort of . man, possessing property to a consider! able amount, has been annoyed by a ghost appearing to him for several nights past, in various shapes, calling out in a horrible 'and load voice. " Beware ; leave off your wicked life, llartt ! 'Read your Bible." The old gentle man made his neighbours acquainted with the circum stances, and they all instantly volunteered to sit up with him during his frightful and sleepless nights. " Night after night passed away, and no apparition ap peared; still the noises were repeated with unabating horror, calling out to Hartt, to read his Bible, and to leave off his wicked way of life,-!-an unnecessary piece of advice, for poor Hartt bears an unexceptionable moral character. The neighbours imbibed the alarm, but mustered up suf ficient courage to commence a vigilant search; into what ever room they travelled, however,' this odd voice was surf. to accompany them, calling' out lustily for Bread and butter--ham, 'and bread and btitter.---blo* my guts, I. am so hungry !' Strange 'and unaccountable as it all ap peared, no person present was even able to trace out from whence or froth whorn' the voice proceeded; sometimes it assailed them as if it proceeded out of the walls, at other times either from the ceiling or the floor. An extraordinary circumstance like' this could not fail at length to alarm the whole city, and hundreds Oickod Night after night to hear the hungry ghost Call 'out for' ham and bread and butter.' On Saturday last the Mayor despatched several of the police to the spot to examine the premises, with 'directions not to suit them without ascertaining the real fact. They searched into every hole and corner, remain ing there during the whole night, but all to no purpose; the root of the building was not even omitted in their search. It was, according to report, at length conceived frudent to lay it by holy word. Rev. Gentleman wan ound, who proceeded to the spot,: but, in defiance of the priest., the spectre rained its frightful notsee Again, which rattled horribly through the old chambers, at the same time telling him to go home, and not to come there praying.' fhe Rev. Gentleman, unaccustomed, to have mockery added to his responses, soon left the house. " A stout knight of the thimble, living near, now: doubly persuaded that the voice mine front, some villain concealed F ni the wall, fearlessly asserted he would find it' out ; in he marched, bold as buckram, shhuldering huge poker, determined to exhibit himself sole victor in the combat, assuring his neighbours • that the spectre should not . long be suffered to go unpunished. His search was first on the ground floor, and voices on both sides rose loud in his ear. He paused, but, eager for the conflict,' he ascended the stuirs, the voice all the time echoing his name,' and telling him to go home, for it was of no use. On leaving one chamber, a large box was thrown at him, which, rolling down the staircase, so alarmed the affrighted knight, that he soon hastened away, fairly van quished. The next knight who sought to lay this spectre was one whose honours were conferred on him, at the last coronation. He soon discovered the author of the trick. It proved to be the servant girl, of the house who possess.; ed an extraordinary power of ventriloquism. The girl was immediately taken into custody, since; Which no noise has been heard by poor Mr. Hartt. A POPULAR TRADITION.!---DEVIL'S WALL, It is that famous wall which formerly separated England froin Scotland, many parts of which still exist, and which even time has not injured. The strength of the cement and the hardness of the atone have persuaded the inhabitants of adjoining districts, that it was built by the hand of the devil ; and the more 'superstitious amongst them are very anxious to collect the irnallest remains of it, which they mix with, the foundations of their houses, in .order to give greater solidity. A Scotch gardener, on digging in the soil of his garden, fouud a atone of a considerable size, upoh which was an inscription, in the dialect of the period, purporting that it bad been placed there for the security of the walls of the castle and of the garden, and that it had been brought thither from a great wall, of which it had formerly constituted a part; but that there would be as much danger in moving it, as there would be advantage in leaving it in its place. The owner of the estate, who was less credulous than his ancestors, wished to have it transported into another spot, in order to expose it to public view In an ancient monument. .Workpien were employed to raise it from the ground by memo,' of machinery, and they suc ceeded, as they would have done with common stone. It re mained upon the edge of the hole, while curiosity induced seve ral Perim* to anseend into the cavity, amongst the rest, the gar dener, several servants, and the two soot of tbe proprietor. who amused themselves for sorei time in digging in the hole. Thi fatal stone, which had not beeri paced in • a just equilibrium, chose that Moment ferjellitig to the bottom of the cavity; and crashed all thole, that were in it . This , was but a prelude of the misfortunes which thi s s tone was to occasion. The young wife of the elder of the two brothers soon learnt, what had *med. She hurried to the garden, with the wild transports of a woman wh o ha s , n othing left in the world to care for ; and she arrived there at the lame when the workmen were using their utmost efforts to raise the 'atone again, in the faint hope of 'finding some remalon of life - In the Unfortunate air fare," Whom it covered.

That she had not yet rie• eevered ; but she was required to be removed from the Hospi tal ; hut she, the complainant, not having the means of pay ing a coach, could not remove her. She had applied to Mr. -, but he had refused to render her any assistance, although his daughter bad been the cause of all her daughter's misfor tunes, acid he well knew the complainant's distressed eircum. stances. The Loan MAYOR, under these circumstances, directed one of the officers to call on Mr. and to direct him to attend his Lordship. Mr. now attended, and totally denied the truth of the complainant's assertions; he was, he said; the father of eleven children, and therefore not likely to encourage any thing wrong in regard to treating young persons. This poor girl, lks admit.; ted, was very ill, but so far from her having contracted her Mans in his service, she (the girl) had herself declared that the whole cause of it was a blow which her father, in a moment of passion, had inflicted on her head, which had caused temporary derange ment of intellect, and that she had been discharged front a former situation on the same account ; at the time in question,' his wife had long been confined; and it was well known that this girl had been subject to these fits, and it was not considered raft, that she should be entrusted 'with a candle; therefore, after she went up to bed, he sent his eldest daughter up stairs to get the candle away from her; his daughter, who being half undressed, this young girl construed into a ghost, and hence arose the present charge. His conduct had been merely cautionary, and in truth he was a man " more sinned against, than sinning," This was not the first instance of her aberrations of mind, and she had always been treated with the greatest kindnes. She had been before confined to her bed for days, and the same doctor and nurse that attended the family, attended the young girl, and she had been always treat ed as one of the family.. The Loan Mayot having left the Justice Room to attend a Court of Aldermen, Mr. Nobler stated that he really thought the complaint was completely answered, and the complainant left the room. • A poor ill -looking countryman was charged with uttering base coin. The complaint was, that the prisoner had upon reveral occa sions uttered counterfeit shillings to a tobacconist in the Ward of ; Aldgate, and the last occasion of uttering was on Sunday last, at . half-past four o'clock, when he presented a bad shilling for a quar ter of an ounce of tobacco, he at the same time having money, and plenty of good money about him . other bad The Loan MAYOR, addressing the complainant, " Really this is too bad ; you are, yourself, one of the City officers, and you have, to my knowledge, preferred many complaints against poor tradesmen for opening their shops on Sundays, and now you come to complain against this man for uttering bad money on*Sunday afternoon--now are you not ashamed of yourself?"

MARY1.V.11(11 , 14..-41ridget Curtain, a young Irishwoman, the servant of Mr. David, a perfumer, of Crawford-street, Mary lehone, sought for redress under the following circumstances : — She stated that, on going into the parlour on Tuesday night, about twelve o'clock, after a hard day's washing, for the purpose of sleeping on the sofa, her usual bed, she found her master, who had come home tipsy, had thrown himself on it, and was sound asleep. On mentioning this to her mistress, she wee desired to make up a bed in the kitchen, assigning, as her reason, that she , did not wish to have Mr. David disturbed. The girl objected to going to bed there, sa the male servant of a gentleman in the house. was continually coming into that room, but offered, :in pre ference, to sit up by the fire-side for the night. This Mrs. David would not suffer to be done, and in a rage put out the firs and candle, and threatened to ' turn her into the street if she did • not do Cs she was desired. The girl being determined kr resist the command, she was dragged up stairs 'and violently turned out - of the house. The night was extremely wet, and, as she had no friends near, the young woman begged her mistress not to use her so harshly ; but this request more, highly excited Mrs. David's auger, and, in addition to thrusting, her into the street, she had her taken to the watch-house. The' night-constable, however, refused to detain her there; and as she WAS thus deprived of a lodging, and the watchman to whom she applied having denied her a seat in his box, she was compelled to lie on she flag-stones for the remainder of the night. About four o'clock in the morning a woman, who was washing, had compas sion on her, by taking her into her house, lighting a fire to warm her, and making some tea ; and through this assistance,;, the girl said she really believed she was saved from dying, as she found herself fast sinking from the cold and wetness of the night. Mrs. David admitted that she ordered the girl to sleep ut the kitchen, but denied that she ever struck, or turned her into the street. She left the house of her own accord. Mr. Ilawmison did not think it possible that the girl would, by choice, prefer walking the 'time of a wet night, being com. fortably' housed, and ha wished to know why she was taken to the 'watch-house. Mrs. 'David said she wis taken there for using abusive language. Mr. ilawrattsow considered the mistress had acted a very tutj natural part, by tenting a poor girl into the open streets at that late hoar of a miserably cold and wet night,; Ides. David said she offered to taka her servant home with ber from the watch-house, hilt she would not return. The girl, in reply to a question put by the Magistrate, said she could not think of returning to the house of such a cruel woman. The 01410 was finally disposed of by Mrs, David's being ordered to pay 10s. for the assault, and to ray the wages this up to AA 16th of the next Month. The girl having inquired if she could compel her mistress to give her a character. Mrs. David mid that she could not accuse her (if dishonesty, but as to her sobriety, she would say nothing either one way or the other, further then that she bad frequently found her drink. i hl ng ,ermi w or i :ei th uhs t ta h ne e nhara m t be an ctevi iie rn r d v as an t t ive i o n :eilesato. the At k .h i yi tc s:i h )ouv: e i n orry , it ari i.ou d .Eir t ,g b g a w. t ,o th me e ha y anr,ii aleared to be very intimate.
